About that Kia badge...

Hm, I assumed they only make simple flat stickers, and nothing resembling a preoperly worked 3D profiled car emblem?

they do what you're looking for , check out their site

Checking .. hm seems so. Usually the transport costs from Northamerica To Europe kills any such small project, though.

They are in Europe , The cost would be around $15 usd shipping was $5

Oh that may be very cool then ... I'm already in contact with them. Seems the whole site is about center caps, but maybe they can do me an emblem.

Btw .. are there any pictures of debadged stingers? I have no idea if the part the emblems are on is somewhat curved, or if theres holes for bolts on the emblem etc ... front, back, steering wheel etc. never sam any debadged, unfinished jobs.

Can be painted? Do you mean that is not under some sort of glass/acrylic whatever transparent coating en completely exposed, just asking for a paintover?

It's like an aluminum piece with the design etched it - but there's no feeling to the lettering or design. I'm not really sure how it's done. Can you technically paint over it? Sure. Should you? Probably not. But if you can do it well - it would probably look good. But its certainly not designed FOR painting over...

There are mounting holes under the badges. Can't really debadge it unless you want to take it to the body/paint shop afterwards.

Australian spec front - slightly curved. Rear- pretty flat. Not brave enough to have done the steering wheel yet....

Much obliged. Steering wheel is a thing ...... I asked local saddlers if they can put some decent, thin leather onto the steering wheels central pot (frankly, it's the one thing I hate on the Stinger... that big round piece of cheap plastic right into my face). But none will do anything ... they're all too scared of repercussions if something happens with this sensitive (airbag) piece of the car.

send your design to 3Dcarstickers.com and they will comp up an emblem to your specs , I ordered a set of wheel cap covers , should be here in a couple of weeks ................I'll post up pics when they arrive

I really like this idea. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I really like this idea. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I'll keep everyone posted , Merry Christmas to all our Aussie mates !!

Hello! That's exactly what I wanted on the front without ever knowing it. The K logo I like with the round emblem and "STINGER" from the E badge. Best of both worlds in my opinion. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Haha.I was thinking exactly the same thing today

I'm not a huge fan of the E badge , but I did put it on , to me this looks like an upscale Optima badge because virtually every Optima I see has this style of badging , If they did a pure Stinger front emblem ?????? just my $.02

 

[voon]

I don't mind if any Optimas have it, since being extremely unique with my badge is not what I'm looking for. Anthing totally unique and ambiguous will radiate the "has soemthign to hide" stigma. If it was me, I'd add KIA on top of the above Löden badge ... once to balance the weight the stinger text has below, and two to tell people it's a Kia and they can kiss my arse with any brand bullshit

I like it ... as said, it's both worlds in one .. a nicely, thinrimmed elegant Stinger look and the elegant Kia K of old (although I always think the left of the K looks a bit empty).

@Kia Stinger
Mike from Löden told me they're going to produce it .. this is a finished design, that they will have some copyright on and won't change. But they'll happily listen to ideas for (MAYBE) a future badge or variants (colors etc).

Does anyone know if the Kia Stinger rear badge emblem is or will be available in carbon fiber?
